Plastic lined inner sleeves were supplied with all full price 12" albums in
the
UK throughout the 1960's and I didn't have any problems with them.  That
said, we have a pretty even climate compared with many parts of the USA
and the far east, so I think Bryan hit the nail on the head by mentioning
dampness and humidity.

For keeping vinyl in good condition, I'd also like to put in a good word for
antistatic pistols which really do a good job, stopping airborne bits of
dust etc. from being drawn onto the surface of the disc by negating the
charge on its surface.

On a completely different subject (but still hopefully exotic enough), has
any reader ever been to The Egyptian Drive-in Movie Theater which is in
Herrin, South Illinois, please?  This is 'famous' for having the world's
biggest screen, described as 'twelve storeys high'.  I'm interested in
finding out how it stays up in bad weather and doesn't get blown away
like a sail.  It must be pretty rugged as it celebrates its half century
this August.  Regarding indoor vs outdoor cinema, conventional cinemas
now have Dolby stereo soundtracks almost as standard.  Have drive-ins
managed to keep up with that at all?

Many thanks, Hugh.

Subject: (exotica) Lolita, Sabu, Doug & Luis

Tagging a few movie highlights of list-interest (eastern standard time, you
know the drill)...

"Lolita" (1962) early Tuesday morning at 6:00 am on TCM.

A double bill of the Sabu (1940) and Douglas Fairbanks (1924, silent) versions
of "The Thief Of Bagdad" -- late Tuesday/early Wednesday at 2:00 am and 4:00 am
on AMC.

"The Discreet Charm Of The Bourgeoisie" (1972) Thursday afternoon at 12:30 pm
on Bravo (US). I won't try to argue it as list-related, but how the heck often
do you get to see a Luis Bunuel (grandmaster of surrealist cinema) film on TV?

Subject: (exotica) Brass Impact

withing 24 hours of reading Brad Bigelow's "Brass" article in the latest Cool
and Strange issue, I tracked down the Warren Kime Brass Impact LP (Command RS
910 SD).  I love it when that happens!  six bucks - not bad for SF, less than
a movie.

Hard hitting, exciting LP loaded with brass (obviously) offset with female
doo-doo-dooing and ooo-ooo-oooing.  the always extensive Command liner notes
refer to the choir as "the girls".

4 flugelhorns
3 trumpets
4 trombones
woodwind
guitar
bass
drums
3 man percussion team
and..."the girls"

titles include:  Mas Que NAda, Elenor Rigby, The Breeze And I, One Note Samba,
Mr. Lucky, In The Still Of The Night...

thank you, Brad!

Interesting! I've been listening to _Enchanted Isle_ again more closely,
and I have to say I'm still a little up in the air about whether I think
it's new or old. . . the sound is just such classic Denny it's rather
confusing.

If nothing else I've decided that "Coronation" can't be an alternate take
from the _Quiet Village_ sessions. I agree with Ingemar that the sound
quality is excellent, suggesting it really is from 1982. . . . But. . . The
sound quality of those original sessions was pretty amazing too (I was
just listening to the CD reissue of _Exotica II_ on headphones).

I do notice that on "Enchanted Isle" you can definitely hear tape hiss as
the tracks begin. On the other hand, the spatialization is more natural
than those early stereo releases (where some instruments got panned hard to
one side or the other).

Who knows, maybe they hauled all their Ampex three-tracks and vintage tube
gear out of the closet, to get the sound *exactly* the same as the original!

Yours in Hi Fi,

I'll note MY shock when I stopped, counted, and realized I now own around
*50 DIFFERENT* Three Suns 10"/12" LPs and 7" sets.

I group all my Grand Award/Command/Project 3 albums under "Enoch Light"
(i.e. includes Dick Hyman, Free Design, et al.), and that category is
insanely into the triple digits. (My secret shame, especially with them
being local kids, is I own NO Pere Ubu and I'm pretty illiterate when it
comes to that band.)

I don't know. I guess I need to listen to M&G more, but _Fever & Smoke_
was the LP that got me to stop and collect the Suns, and it's still by
FAR my favorite. It's a crazy thing with my overblown interest in these
guys...I'd have to admit I find a LARGE percentage of their stuff totally
uninteresting, but I also usually find at least one cool and/or
off-the-wall track to my liking on just about every release.

I've felt some sense of cultural obligation to develop the definitive
Three Suns Web site, with track listings, cover scans, commentary by
various fans, a database where fans can rate their favorite albums, etc.
Other than that "Jazzpants" Suns site, I don't think this has ever been
attempted. (One of the essentials is a means to link up the pre-_Midnight
For Two_ RCA 12" albums to their 7"/10" source albums -- in case folks
didn't know, most of those LPs were repackagings of sundry albums from
the late 40s to early 50s; plus, there's a ton of 7" material that never
turned up on LPs.)

I'd probably never get around to devoting the time and/or be able to pull
it off myself though... UNLESS I had offers from folks to contribute
info/ASCII track listings (and liner notes?) from their records and any
scans of covers I don't have (and there ARE quite a few). If you feel
you'd like to chip in some time to get this monster constructed, please
drop me an e-mail.

Also, if anyone has any oddball non-USA RCA Three Suns albums with
covers/content not on American releases, please contribute; plus I'd need
scans of the green-painting alternate cover to _The Sounds of Christmas_
and the colored-shapes-on-white alternate cover to _Love in the
Afternoon_; I've got a picture sleeve 7" with four songs from _Midnight
For Two_ with a romantic couple and a clock instead of the usual flying
broom cover -- has anyone ever seen a 12" of MF2 with this cover?)

Also, for anyone who cares, while it hasn't gotten beyond the talking
stage, I actually talked some local musician friends into a band idea,
"The Sons of the Three Suns," a Three Suns tribute band. (No, I'm not a
musician myself, more of a Malcom McClaren type ;-) ) The idea is to
perform songs originally done by the Suns like "Twilight Time," "Movin' &
Groovin'," and "Beyond the Sun."

To add to the argument: I've picked up some London Phase 4 LPs (which
apparently often came in the plastic-lined sleeves in their initial
release) where this "stuck" thing happened and the record surface was all
noisy.

Those "wax papery" plastic sleeves (Chrysalis and other labels used them
in the 1980s) seem to be ideal. I wonder why you can't get *those* from
collector supply places. Or does someone know something archivally evil
about these as well?

Subject: (exotica) Brass Impact #2

If you like Warren Kime's three Brass Impact albums on Command (I personally love 'em!),
be on the lookout for "Brass Impact #2", which he recorded for Claremont Records many
years later!  Same inventive arrangements, same wordless vocals, great stuff all around.
I can't find a date on my copy, though judging by the width of Mr. K's shirt collar on
the back cover photo, it looks like it might've been late '70s or even early '80s.

The liner notes say Warren Kime also ran a "music consulting firm" in Chicago and
produced albums for Matrix, the New Chicago Rhythm Kings and others.  Apparently he also
did one called "Warren Kime and his Holiday for 5 Trumpets".  Anybody ever see THAT?

And, Warren Kime, where are you?

I have this record by someone called - that week anyway - THE KOKEE BAND.
It's called "Hawaii and other exotic movie themes" and it's on Solid State.
 The often great Sonny Lester is listed as producer.  Maybe that should be
enough but does anyone know anything about this "band".  Did they actually
exist?  Who were they?  It's way better than I expected it to be.  Great
version of "After the fox".
The liner notes point out "the crafty usage of an occasional alto saxophone".

thumbs Up! And... on vinyl!!

  Also, De Wulfe re-issue comp. called "bite hard" on BBE records (Barely
Breaking Even Records) out of London.
Late '60s early '70s TV library music great fidelity and crazy , spacey funky
grooves.

Everything from Manix like moody chase music to funky bass & guitar to super
fuzz guitar rock taken at about the same tempo as Raw Power(Iggy)
 And... there is also a 45 , equally great.

BBE are the same folks who put out the Ravi Harris sitar LP which is great but
a little dull on the high end. (As was the 45 of Hot Pants Road).

Anyway, blah blah, I like it.

Subject: (exotica) Norrie Paramor

I wanted to mention this in case any of the label-connected list members
may be interested.

In the nearly two years that I've had my "Space Age Pop Standards" website
up, the one artist I've had the most inquiries about--at least one or two a
month, many from overseas--is Norrie Paramor.  I'm constantly being asked
if his "In London, In Love" and follow-on albums (strings with wordless
vocals by Patricia Clark) are available on CD (they're not).  It's not my
favorite stuff, but I've been impressed by the strength of the interest in
these albums (which are usually not too many thrift bins away here in the
U.S.).

<< >Forbidden Island was Denny's 3rd album released in 1958...I'm confused by

 This album is called _The Enchanted Isle_ (not "Forbidden Island"), Liberty
 LN-10195. The cover has Denny's name in girly script across the top, and
 has a large photo of an orchid blossom about to hit the surface of a limpid
 blue pool.

 The background  (front and back) is a gradient going from pastel green at
 the bottom to white at the top. The back has a small photo of Denny looking
 60-ish, so that would be about right for 1982. It's blurbed (somewhat
 confusingly) by Don Ho!  He says Denny ". . .waxes well with his original
 exoticats. They're all here."  The song titles are:

 Coronation (not the version from _Quiet Village_ / Rain / Happy Island / An
 Occasional Man / The Enchanted Isle / Sugar Train / Tahitian Sunset /
 Friendly Island / Adventures in Paradise / South Sea Island Magic

 Hope this helps. . .


Now I know the album you are talking about...I heard this courtesy of Br,.
Cleve...yes, the album was a return to the old sound after a real hiatus and
it's not an album you see too often.

 Isn't it possible that Denny was given one last stab at recording by his
 record company? (The subsequent "Exotica '90" was recorded in Japan
 without any involvement of Liberty/Capitol as far as I can tell.)

By the time "Exotica 90" was recorded, Denny no longer had a recording
contract and this was done as a one-off.

Subject: (exotica) Big apple bullshit

Here's a lovely end piece to all of you who followed the debate on the NYC
club the 999999's appearing in Time Out magazine. It is a wonderful self-
incriminating quote of the our music in the hands of someone whose record
collection/knowledge will never ver match her ego:

"..."Penelope Tuesdae, describes herself as a 'cabaret minx." She sees the new
trend {i.e. cabaret} as a logical extension of loungecore nights, such as the
one she hosts at the 999999's every Friday at Flamingo east. The popular
night, which spawned a host of imitators {oh really????}, has featured
dressed-up dames and kitschy performances since its launch two years ago. But
when people started to come for the visual stimuli as much as the music,
Tuesdae 'saw the death of lounge was immenent.'"

Thus spoketh the queen of east village dress-up!

Cabaret the next craze??  Holy shit I thought swing was bad enough...as Br.
Cleve has said maybe it's time to wear flannels and turn that baseball cap
around and move to Seattle!

By the way the article describes her cabaret performance consisting of singing
the song "Cabaret." - how original!!!!

Anyone who has forgotten what performers who got gonged by Chuck Barris'
celebrity guests sound like should definitley catch her show...what very good
DJ Steve Spain has to put up with at that place!

I, too, think Stanley Black's Exotic Percussion is a wonderful
album, and the version of "Babalou" is on the list of tracks I've
compiled for the purpose of someday making compilations of my
favourites.  The album is one of a dozen or so I keep in my office
and listen to several times a week.

At the moment, I'm listening to the Mantovani album "Manhattan,"
about the only one of his records I've bothered to buy.  But I sort
of collect albums with city themes and nocturnes on them, and his
version of "Take the 'A' Train," with subway whistles and other
effects, is pretty good.

I spent last week in Hamilton, Ontario, revisiting thrift stores where, in
1996,
I had found a couple of hundred treasures.   Finds were a little more scarce
this time, but I did get the Henri Rene and Vic Schoen Stereo Action albums,
and a big-colour-booklet-with-album-attached called "Honeymoon in
Hawaii"  by the Hilo Hawaiians.  It seems to have been put out by Continental
Airlines, and has pages in which you may write your trip itinerary.

They did exist. I have an lp by them called called "Exotica 1970". I
don't think it gives much in the way of information regarding the
band... I'll pull it out tonight. I don't believe there's much
information on the WWW about them. I tried a search after I found my lp
with only a couple of hits.
